How the hell did I get big caramel flavour/aroma from a JW trad ale/amarillo smash Did a 38L brew and fermented in two fermenters with same yeast, same temp. Could an infection cause this or what. I wouldn't mind the taste in a heavier style but I dont want it in my pale ales. My sense of...

Decided to do another APA (my very fav) and do a double, 40L brew. Have done two doubles in the last two weeks using a 20L bucket for my batch sparge Lifting the bag and squeezing it then dropping in the bucket with the sparge water. Have to do this in two goes as the bucket aint big enough...

Ok, I have searched and not found the info I need. I use rainwater in my brews and started thinking after sitting here in a hotel in Ballarat reading How to Brew, what should I be putting in the water to get the ions to an acceptible level for the mainly APA's that I brew? I do use 5.2 ph...

Would this esky be any good for a mash tun. It is 570 by 280mm internal dimensions and is 44L I plan to do 38L or thereabouts size batchs Just wondering if I will get a good enough grain depth Edit: forgot to add pic

I am getting sick of bottling and even though its only 6-8 bottles per brew with the rest in the keg. I am wondering if I can manage 36L of finished wort out of my pot so I can fill 2 kegs neatly. Planning to up the grain bill to about 8-9kg and mash in the bag with 37L water. After 90min...

Decided I was getting too much trub into my cubes so I did a brew today and lifted the pickup tube about an inch off the bottom of the kettle. Irish mossed and whirlpooled and cut down the flow as it got down to near the trub cone, and then shut it off as the first bit of trub headed for the...

Tried my first stepped mash with a wheat beer today. 20min at 50c then 60min at 63c I got a very milky looking wort and when it came to the boil it would have boiled over if I wasnt watching. Got a good rolling boil happening and noticed that there is a lot of solid material circulating...

Tried a bottle of a pale ale I made back in March last night, and the hop burst of aroma and flavour of cascade was amazing. Strong floral/grapefruit. I have used cascade before in pale ales for flavour and aroma and never got this The difference with this one is that I used a safale german...

Howdy I have 14 tins of Coopers light liquid malt and 6 tins of Coopers wheat malt for sale. Ordered them and somehow coopers did a double dip on my bank account. So after many months of haggling, I settled on another batch of the malt instead of a reimbursment of my account, which they were...

Many of us got hop plants going last year and now what. How do we get new plants from ours to send out to folks who want them. I have two shoot cuttings that are still green from many weeks ago, but not sure if this is a way to get new plants quickly I have layered my main bine in the ground...

I have my 50L straight sided SS pot measured out at 20 to 40L in 5L intervals of 4cm with wee dints on the inside of the pot. Before anyone asks I know they are acurate or else the 50L pot isnt 50L, that I havent measured just taken for granted. Anyway my 25L cube I filled with water and poured...
